The Meima customer is the optician looking for traditional P3, rounds, elegant rectangular and cateye frames for their audience. Meima likes to work with volume--using 8mm thick acetate materials and 3mm thick titanium sheets. The designer's focuses are on volume, comfort and elegance.
"Today I am focusing on optical frames, due to the fact that the sunglass market is saturated and under the influence of fashion companies imposing their identities, marketing and sales power," said designer Anthony Meima.
